“Actually, we have for-profit ‘death panels’ now: they are companies + boards saying you’re on your own bc they won’t cover a critical procedure or medicine. Maybe if the GOP stopped hiding behind this ‘socialist’ rock they love to throw, they’d actually engage on-issue for once,” she wrote.

After bizarrely comparing the current healthcare system to “death panels,” Ocasio-Cortez went on to argue for a single-payer health care system but never once criticized Obamacare, which is what Hanson argued was the problem.

Joining the Financial Services panel would give Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described socialist who wants to hike taxes and expand the government, power to allocate funding for many of her ideas.

On Friday, Ocasio-Cortez compared her election victory to “establishing civil rights” and the United States landing on the moon.

“We’ve done it. We’ve dug deep and we’ve done what we thought was impossible. We went to the moon, we electrified the nation. We established civil rights, we enfranchised the country. We dig deep and we did it,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

“We did it when no one else thought that we could. That’s what we did when so many of us won an election this year,” she said to silence from the crowd.
